- Off-Campus Housing

Off-Campus

Not having personal experience with off-campus housing, I have heard from friends that it is much cheaper to live off campus. However, you must take into account security as there are sometimes crimes in the area. However, campus safety patrols the area regularly 24/7. It is much more convenient to live on campus though and have your classes at your doorstep and not have to worry about driving or walking to class during bad weather, etc.

Off-Campus Housing Life at Rhodes

Approximately 25% of the students live off-campus at Rhodes. The city of Memphis provides plenty of housing near the college. Most of the locations are safe and conveniently located near basic necessities.

Off Campus Housing

Typically just junior and seniors live off campus, if they choose to do so. Some people stay on campus all four year, but if you decide to move off campus there are tons of options. Right outside of the Rhodes gates across University there are many street filled with houses where Rhodes kids live. Living off campus is typically cheaper than the on campus housing, although you do have to pay for utilities which can become very costly. The one thing I would be most cautious of is the safety of the location of your house off campus. Other than that, I will probably move off campus as a junior or senior just for a change. But many people really love staying on campus at Rhodes.
